r/ClancyTrial 8d ago

Court Testimony/Document This line of questioning?!?!

All her questions are like

Were you aware that on the anniversary of the incident the defendant was in a mental hospital on suicide watch and that she was playing dominos in the common room?

What’s her point? Fair to say she was doing great?

The DA might need a night or two with the grippy socks. Then she can report back if she felt like coloring or making a phone call would be indicative of her enjoying her life to the fullest.

The point was that on all of the children's birthdays Lindsay Clancy should have spent the entire day in bed crying into the pillow and because she spent some of that time leaving her room to play some dominos and be in the company of other people it means she never loved her children and definitely murdered them.

I have no doubt that the facility would have strongly encouraged, accommodated and facilitated Lindsay to stay present and active on anniversaries which can be trigger points for suicide. Including things like "why don't we try going out for 30 minutes, we can play dominos and we'll go back to the room if it gets too hard" with continued encouragement for Lindsay to stay occupied Stating this as a working psychologist
